This is a temporary part-time and contract position suitable for individuals who are looking for short-term employment opportunities in Singapore. Successful applicants will assist with retail event operations, customer service and cashiering duties throughout the assigned working period.

The main responsibility of this position is cashiering. However, staff must also be prepared to assist with general retail duties, customer service and other operational tasks when required.

IMPORTANT WORKING REQUIREMENT

Applicants must be willing to perform BOTH retail and cashiering duties.

This is not a cashier-only position.

The supervisor will determine the actual work assignment according to the operational requirements of the event. Staff may therefore be required to move between cashiering, customer service and general retail duties during their working period.

Applicants who are only interested in cashiering and are unwilling to perform retail duties may not be suitable for this position.

Flexibility is important because duties may vary depending on customer traffic, event operations, staffing requirements and the instructions provided by the supervisor.

10:00 AM – 7:00 PM

1:00 PM – 10:00 PM

The final shift will be assigned by the supervisor.

Applicants are not able to freely select their preferred working shift.

Successful applicants should therefore be flexible and prepared to work according to the assigned schedule.

Shift arrangements may depend on operational requirements, staffing levels and event activities.

S$18 per hour after 8.5 working hours per shift
